Holly Byrnes: Andy Lee, just because his comic partner in crime Hamish Blake bagged the big one last year and you'd think if there's any future for these two, Blake will want to share the love. Whether their cyber followers fall in line and vote that way is the big question.

Colin Vickery: Hamish Blake, the comedy duo's Euro Gap Year and Caravan of Courage: Australia vs New Zealand TV shows were ratings hits. No-one harnesses the power of social media better to garner votes. I reckon Blake will make it back-to-back.

HB: Steve Peacocke - I want to think the TV public would reward Lachy Hulme for his masterful year on the box, but this category will more than likely reflect the teen demographic voting via TV Week. That means the Home And Away hordes will back Steve Peacocke for the win.

CV: Steve Peacocke - Has Hugh Sheridan's decision to quit Packed to the Rafters hurt his chances of another win in this category? If you ask me, yes. Steve Peacocke won Most Popular New Male Talent last year and I reckon he will go one better in 2013.

HB: Julia Morris - she's my dark horse, in the nicest possible way. Sure, Asher Keddie is hugely popular as the quirky doc, Nina Proudman, but Lady JMo's brand of joy just might be enough to tip the voting in her favour, rolling on from her Celebrity Apprentice victory.

CV: Asher Keddie - If this category was decided purely on ratings then Rafters' Rebecca Gibney or House Husbands' Julia Morris would dominate. Offspring's audience is smaller but they are a passionate bunch and they will ensure Asher Keddie gets across the line.

HB: Hamish Blake - Will this be his consolation prize or entree before another main meal of gold? The former, I reckon. Still, I would love to see Adam Hills make it two-in-a-row.

CV: Adam Hills - Adam Hills won this category last year but that was mainly because of the now-defunct Spicks and Specks. Hamish Blake and Andy Lee could split voters. Does that mean wildcards Carrie Bickmore or Chrissie Swan could sneak a win? Probably not. Hills again.

Most Popular Drama Series

Home And Away, Channel Seven

House Husbands, Nine Network

Offspring, Network Ten

Packed To The Rafters, Channel Seven

Puberty Blues, Network Ten

HB: House Husbands - Channel 9 has campaigned strongly for its newbie drama and we know how well that worked for Karl Stefanovic and Hamish Blake in recent years.

CV: Packed to the Rafters - Packed to the Rafters has dominated this category in recent years. It is hard to see any series other than Nine's popular House Husbands posing a serious threat. Critics keep saying Rafters is off the boil but the ratings are still super-strong.

MOST OUTSTANDING

Silver Logie: Most Outstanding Actor

Aaron Jeffery (Underbelly: Badness, Nine Network)

Anthony Hayes (Devil's Dust, ABC1)

Guy Pearce (Jack Irish, ABC1)

Jimi Bani (Mabo, ABC1)

Lachy Hulme (Howzat! Kerry Packer's War, Nine Network)

HB: Lachy Hulme - this really is the year of the leading man and what a magnificient bunch they all are. The image of Jimi Bani dancing under a streetlight on Mabo will forever haunt, but Lachy's powerhouse incarnation as Kerry Packer was a knockout.

CV: Lachy Hulme - Lachy Hulme's performance as media magnate Kerry Packer in Howzat! was mesmerising. The only thing to come anywhere near matching it was Aaron Jeffery's career-defining role as bikie-turned-police informant Frank O'Rourke in Underbelly: Badness.

Silver Logie: Most Outstanding Actress

Catherine McClements (Tangle, Showcase)

Deborah Mailman (Mabo, ABC1)

Leah Purcell (Redfern Now, ABC1)

Mandy McElhinney (Howzat! Kerry Packer's War, Nine Network)

Susie Porter (Dangerous Remedy, ABC1)

HB: Leah Purcell - again, such strong performances and a number could take it, but for her writing, directing and acting powers in Redfern Now, Leah Purcell should win.

CV: Leah Purcell - Purcell recently won the Best Lead Actress AACTA Award for her performance in Redfern and there is every chance she will get a Logie to put beside it. Deborah Mailman, as Bonita Mabo, would be another worthy winner.

Silver Logie: Most Outstanding Drama Series

Offspring, Network Ten

Puberty Blues, Network Ten

Rake, ABC1

Redfern Now, ABC1

Tangle, Showcase

HB: Puberty Blues - purely for the nostalgic trip this series took us all on and the strength of the ensemble cast, Puberty Blues should win for mine. Props too for the clever marketing of this series and bringing back the word `moll'.

CV: Rake - Puberty Blues was the surprise winner of Best Television Drama Series at the recent AACTA Awards. Will it do the same at the Logies? It is hard to tell. My feeling is that the second series of Rake stepped up a notch and could cause an upset.

Silver Logie: Most Outstanding Miniseries or Telemovie

Howzat! Kerry Packer's War, Nine Network

Jack Irish, ABC1

Mabo, ABC1

Underbelly: Badness, Nine Network

Underground: The Julian Assange Story, Network Ten

HB: Howzat: Kerry Packer's War - purely by the water cooler count, Howzat won over every man, woman and child. The chest hair, the spectacularly daggy fashion, the singalong soundtrack, that poor chicken salad sacrificed against a Park St wall, this was our industry at its best.

CV: Howzat: Kerry Packer's War - Jack Irish was wonderfully entertaining crime drama, Mabo a serious look at a pivotal event in Australia's history, and Underground a fascinating portrait of the young Julian Assange. Underbelly just brutal, but Howzat! trumped them all.
